Naging Vice Mayor ng Caloocan si Varela some years back. Kay Malonzo yata siya e.

 

Dati novelty yung ulo niya. Ngayon uso na sa PBA. hehehe

 

Si Leo Isaac naging coach sa PBL. Hindi ko na lang alam kung nasaan na ngayon. Si Mike Advani negosyante yata.

 

Heto gusto ko malaman kung nasaan na: si Dennis Abbatuan! Di ba siya nagtala din ng high score sa isang PBA game, parang lagpas 50 pts yata.

 

 

Si Leo Isaac head coach ng Arellano U....

The PBA must do a lot of thinking of adding teams to the league... having

former players play competitive basketball once again might draw a LOT

more interest in the league. Yun nga lang, financials will be a problem, but

I think that will be just a mere detail on the benefit that the idea might bring..

 

What do you think?? Para naman di masayang yung mga talents ng mga

homegrown pinoys, fans today enjoy Fil-Ams... or sorry to say, some of

them, Fil-Shams....

pare correction. si Francis Rodriguez ang naging coach ng team na ito. Melencio coached the 1993 team led by Poch Junio, Mike Orquillias and Onchie Dela cruz

I just heard the news that Gido Babilonia have succumbed to a heart attack. I think it was also heart disease that stopped his basketball career.

 

Yes, Nani Demigillo is a security guard in sta. lucia mall. I even saw him once in a barong.

 

Elmer Reyes, I don't know much about him, but I once him riding the MRT.

Former PBA player Babilonia, 40

 

 

VEGILDO BABILONIA, the former Santo Tomas U Tiger and Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) veteran, died of possible complications from pneumonia at dawn Sunday. He was 40.

 

Babilonia, known through his nickname Guido, left behind wife Bing and sons Tommy, G-Boy and Shaq. He was an assistant coach of former Green Archer and pro cager Dindo Pumaren, his long-time friend and teammate, at the University of the East Red Warriors bench.

 

Babilonia was a member of the so-called Triple Towers of UST alongside Julian Rabbi Tomacruz and Bobby Jose in the mid-1980s in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP).

 

After his UAAP years, Babilonio was tapped by Magnolia in the then Philippine Amateur Basketball League (PABL) where he played alongside Pumaren.

 

The duo never really got separated from there as both played for Purefoods and FedEx Express (now Air21), although Babilonia also donned the jerseys of Pepsi, San Miguel and Talk ’N Text.

 

Babilonia was part of the De La Salle coaching staff when he was asked by Pumaren to join him at the UE bench three years ago.

 

A certified fitness buff, Pumaren said he was himself surprised about Babilonia’s death.

 

Pumaren narrated that Babilonia still joined the Red Warriors practice Wednesday, although he was already feeling some discomfort with his persistent coughing. He did not attend practice Thursday and was already confined Friday.

 

Last Saturday, he was admitted to the intensive care unit for closer monitoring of his condition. But at around 3 a.m. Sunday, he expired. His body underwent autopsy yesterday afternoon to determine the actual cause of death.

 

Babilonia’s remains will lie in state at the Marian Memorial Chapel on Marcos Highway in Antipolo. Interment will be announced later.

Condolences to the family of Gido Babilonia.
